Hi,
I have been told Phoenix make great broody hens and are also excellent at raising and teaching the chicks.
I am looking into perhaps buying 5-6 Phoenix hens this Fall. Need instinct, not breed type. I will not be breeding
them. Absolutely no cross-breeding happening. Just using them for broodies next year. Don't care about color. They will each have their own broody cage
to sit/hatch and teach their 5-6 LG Light Sussex chicks. Can anyone tell me how much such birds would cost
and how hard they are to find?
Thanks so much,
Karen in western PA, US

My phoenix usually go broody 2-3 times per season each (from now until August-September). I already have some on eggs this year. An occasional hen will not set at all. My bantams can cover about 7-10 standard size eggs, my standard phoenix maybe 12 at most.

sumatras are great brooders I had a blue sumatra bantam hen brood eggs every year.

Thank you all for your help!

I have contacted a list member who PM'ed me and am looking forward to obtaining 6 pullets this summer. For brooding, not breeding. The breeder is in PA which saves me 150. in shipping fees.
Best,
Karen

That is a surreal fun looking chicken. Wonder how much work it would be to get that to breed true.
